PTSD Patrol getting you out of the ditch

Driving down the road is never fun when you get stuck in a ditch. Sooner or later someone comes along, figures out how you got there, and how to get you out of it so you can get to where you want to go! That is my job when you are dealing with PTSD! #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife 

PS If you watch the videos from last year, Murray is in this one!

Hopefully you watched the other videos and have been taking the steps to have a successful road trip on the road to healing. 

Any great road trip requires a time to rest. The journey toward healing is no different. Take a day to just relax your body and rest your mind.

Over 7 million Americans have PTSD and the only thing they need to know is awareness of hope to heal. It can get better and you can take back your life.

Here is a way to explain to people what a traumatic event is and why you were changed by it. 

They will understand it because every person on the planet experienced it. They just never think about it this way.

Every part of you was involved in the event that created the shock. Every part of your has shock absorbers already built in. Your system may have been overloaded and you may need help. But...every other time in your life, you adapted to what happened with help, including the one that everyone understands.

Also know that you can overcome it as a survivor with help. #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from #PTSD

PTSD is collision damage you can repair

The event that caused PTSD was a collision between what you life was like before it happened, and what it has turned into. Vehicles you drive can be repaired afterwards...and so can you! 

Vehicle collisions cause a total loss or damage gets fixed. A total loss only happens if you do not survive but otherwise survivors can be repaired. #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from #PTSD
